Will she still be able to ask me for child support if my ex and I have a verbal agreement stating she cannot? 8 Answers as of August 25, 2015

Can my ex come back and ask for back child support, even though I had a verbal agreement with her several years back? According to our agreement, I no longer needed to pay her child support? She has never filed for this but now she keeps me threatening me.

Your question does not clearly state whether or not you have an existing court order. If you had an existing court order for child support and you failed to modify it by a new court order, your ex has every right to ask for the old support amount you have not paid. The burden is upon you to demonstrate that a written agreement existed between the parties to modify the support or, better than that,you secured a court order to justify the downward modification of support.
